What: We’re continuing our Q3 theme, Own Your Story, with a powerful Learn & Connect session that’s all about putting your story to work.
Whether you're applying for a job, grant, award, accelerator - or pitching a client, investor, or opportunity - your biggest advantage isn’t just what you’ve done. It’s how you tell your story.
More details:
In this hands-on session, we’re joined by Dr. Vicki Johnson (bio below.) She’ll walk us through how to craft a personal narrative that inspires decision-makers to say yes, and helps you say yes to yourself along the way.
You’ll learn how to:
- Break free from imposter syndrome and find the edge you already have
- Shift the focus from your resume to your vision
- Use a simple but powerful framework to pitch yourself with confidence
Come ready to reflect, write, and connect with other women who are also ready to own their story and go after what they want.
Bio: Dr. Vicki Johnson is a speaker, author, and founder of ProFellow®, the leading U.S. media platform for competitive fellowships, graduate programs, and leadership accelerators.
